Turkey Burgers With Red Onion Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Chop your garlic and veggies.
• Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat until crisp. Wipe excess grease from pan and return skillet to heat.
• While bacon cooks, combine turkey meat, garlic, shallot or onion, thyme, cilantro or parsley, bell pepper, serrano or jalapeno pepper, cumin, hot pepper sauce, grill seasoning or salt and pepper. Divide mixture into 4 equal mounds then form meat into patties. Drizzle patties with vegetable oil to coat. Cook in skillet over medium high heat for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Place sliced cheese over the patties in the last 2 minutes of cooking, use 1 or 2 slices for each patty, as you like.
• Pile cooked cheeseburgers into buns. Spread sweet relish or jelly on bun tops and set red leaf lettuce into place, using the relish or jelly as glue. Top cheeseburgers with 2 slices of cooked, crisp bacon or turkey bacon and lettluce. Then serve with tortilla chips, tossed salad and/or spicy o-nuts.

Steps:

• Prepare grill (or broiler).
• Place scallions in a food processor; pulse until chopped, about 10 pulses.
• Add mushrooms and pulse until chopped; about 10 pulses.
• Add turkey, egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and 2/3 of the salt; pulse until combined; about 30 seconds.
• Divide mixture into equal parts.
• Shape into burgers.
• Combine red onions with sugar, vinegar, and remaining salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
• Toss thoroughly to combine.
• Set aside to marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes.
• Place burgers on grill or under broiler until golden-brown, about 5 minutes on each side.
• Serve burgers with washed lettuce, marinated red onions, and mayonnaise on a toasted bakery roll.
• If desired, stir some pesto into your favorite mayonnaise to create a pesto mayonnaise spread.

Steps:

• For Burgers:
• Combine turkey, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, lemon peel, thyme, salt and pepper in large bowl. Mix well. Divide turkey mixture into 6 equal portions. Form 1 portion into two 4-inch diameter patties. Place 1 tablespoon goat cheese atop 1 turkey patty; place second patty atop cheese. Seal patties at edges to enclose cheese. Repeat with remaining 5 portions. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill burgers until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Grill hamburger buns, cut side down, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Place turkey burgers on bottom half of buns. Top burgers with Roasted Red Pepper Relish, then bun tops and serve.
• For Relish:
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add red peppers and sauté 2 minutes. Add onions and garlic. Cook until onions are tender, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
• Mix vinegar and sugar in small bowl until sugar dissolves. Stir vinegar mixture into red peppers. Mix in mustard and cayenne pepper. Season with salt. Continue cooking relish until all liquid has evaporated, stirring frequently, about 6 minutes. Cool to room temperature. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.) Makes about 2 cups.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook onion with 1/4 teaspoon salt, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and toss with 2 tablespoons lime juice.
• Heat grill to medium-high. Divide turkey into 4 equal pieces. Shape each into a 3 1/2-inch patty (about 3/4 inch thick). Brush both sides of burgers with oil, and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Grill until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into centers reaches 155 degrees, about 4 1/2 minutes per side (3 1/2 minutes if using a grill pan). Grill buns, cut sides down.
• Meanwhile, mash avocado with a fork, and mix with remaining tablespoon lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread onto buns. Sandwich romaine, burgers, onion, jalapenos, and cilantro between buns.
